The result is given by DHL, UPS or 17track platform that allows to track more than 170 registered shipping carriers. As an exception, a few destination countries do not guarantee a full tracking. We clearly mention these cases on the order’s checkout page, as “No tracking” on the shipping method option.

If you notice any lack of information and the shipping method is standard shipping, to have more accurate details of the delivery status you can track the order on “track & trace” webpage of the destination country’s postal company: track the number we provided on the shipping confirmation email.

Duties are customer’s responsibility. If duties are applied to the order, the value of the import tax can be applied on the value of the products plus the cost of shipping.

All products available at Care to Beauty have marketing authorization and consumption in Portugal.

It is the customer's responsibility to confirm if in their country there is any law to prevent the import and consumption of any product or substance contained in them.

In cases where there is forbidden entry of the products, various situations can occur:

• When the product is returned automatically as soon as it arrives at the destination country's customs, because it had no authorization to enter, the return of the value of products will be done in a discount voucher, minus the value of transport costs and any taxes or customs costs associated with the return;
• In shipment by express mail, returns with no authorization to enter the country of destination involve charging the customer for the returning transport costs to the origin as well as all import and customs clearance costs associated with the return. The customer will receive a voucher with the value of the products, minus the total costs for the return. We will always try to question the customer about the preference between the return of the products or the abandonment of goods and consequent destruction. In some destinations, this is not possible because the order is instantly and automatically return to the sender. In these cases, the customer will be responsible for the full cost of returning.

Care to Beauty ships worldwide from Portugal.

The delivery time after dispatch, depends on the destination country and the shipping method.

The estimated delivery time is stated on the checkout page of the order and is confirmed on the shipping confirmation e-mail of the order. This period does not include the period of time that destination customs hold the order for inspection.
Delivery periods may differ from the estimated ones in certain exceptional periods of increased e-commerce flow (examples: Black Friday, Christmas and holidays). We suggest that you purchase taking into account this information to have your expectations fulfilled.

Carriers do not allow us to schedule a specific time for delivery of your order, so it is important to mention the correct delivery address open to reception during working hours, for example, your workplace.

• Orders are posted in the carriers within 1 business day after payment confirmation.
• This period may be changed if by an exceptional situation, a payment review/validation is required or if a product runs out of stock. In this situation the customer is contacted immediately, and a solution is provided. Customer always has the possibility to cancel the order.

Returned Orders due to issues unrelated with the customer are reshipped with no extra cost or refunded totally, depending on the customer’s preference.

Returned orders due to "unclaimed" reason, which means the recipient/someone was not available at the moment of the delivery attempt or, nobody collected the order on the pick up point/post office, and with no communication from the customer to our customer service team are solved with the issue of a discount code.

Return restrictions (before delivery):

Returns might not be possible in cases of countries where they depend/are just allowed by customs after the clearance procedure is complete which means the payment of the customs duties is made.

In these cases, if an order has customs duties applied and customer refuses to pay them, customs don’t allow the return and the order has to be destroyed or abandoned.
Care to Beauty doesn’t refund the costumer in these situations because the payment of the duties is an obligation of the costumer.

Refunds can be made in the following situations:

• Canceled orders (before shipment);
• Orders returned by postal services (unclaimed or refused on delivery attempt);
• Returns (returnable items);
• Validated complaints of damaged, wrong, missing or expired products reported in a maximum of 15 days after order's delivery. Complaints of allergic reactions to products are not eligible.

Your refund will be processed within 7 business days. It will be automatically issued to the original account used to make the purchase.

As an alternative, costumer can choose the issue of a discount code in the amount of the order/products. Discount codes are valid for 12 months, counting from the day they are sent.

Exceptions to refunds by the same payment methods are:

1 - Orders that were placed more than 6 months ago paid by PayPal, are not possible to refund by the same method. In such cases, we will ask the customer to send us his bank account details to process it.

2 - Returned orders due to "unclaimed" reason, which means the recipient/someone was not available at the moment of the delivery attempt or, nobody collected the order on the pick up point/post office, and with no communication from the customer to our customer service team are refunded by discount code in the amount of the order deducting the shipping cost.

3 - Payments made by MB (available for deliveries in Portugal) have to be made by bank transfer so, we have to request bank account details to our customer to do it.

At Care to Beauty, we have a Customer Care team ready to help you with any difficulties or complaints. Please read carefully all the following notes and after, please contact us by the form  .

Complaint of an order not delivered yet:

Before making a complaint about a delay, please note that on standard shipping, the dates provided in the shipping confirmation e-mail are only expected ones.
We cannot give 100% assurance because there are procedures that are beyond our control, for instance, customs that are regulated by local Government guidelines.

The stated period does not include the necessary customs clearance time when your order arrives in the country of destination (in the case of countries outside the European Union. Local customs have their own rules and procedures and unfortunately, we have no power over them.

On orders with delivery by standard shipping:

Due to the e-commerce growth and deliveries available worldwide, with the high number of destination countries, customs and postal services partners, we just consider an order lost after 1 month of the maximum expected delivery time (when shipping to EU) or 2 months after the maximum expected delivery time (when shipping outside EU).

On orders with delivery by DHL:

Claims of non-delivery placed more than 3 months after the maximum expected delivery period aren’t accepted.

Please note our high level of responsibility and commitment with our customers:

We are responsible for your order until its delivery.

If by any reason the delay makes your purchase pointless, we can refund you taking into account our refund policy:

1.We accept requests for refunds before the delivery happens. The refund is processed when the customer refuses the delivery attempt and the return procedure is identified on the tracking page.

2. By standard mail and with no delivery attempt made in the period of 2 months (1 month within EU) after exceeding the maximum estimated delivery date provided, when the said period has passed, we may assume that the order is lost and proceed with the refund.

For deliveries with no tracking, if the destination postal services company informs us that an order is lost, we offer new shipping or the refund of the total amount of your order to our customer.

During the delivery attempt, if the order presents any signs of breach (damaged or wet box, with signs of having been opened, etc.), please reject the order delivery and contact us as soon as possible.
